Charles Ray Waters, Sr., appeals from the district court’s order dismissing his civil action against the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Our review of the record and the district court’s opinion adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge discloses no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Waters’ motion to proceed in forma pauperis and his “Ex Parte Motion” and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Waters v. Rossotti No. CA-00-1241-1 (M.D.N.C. filed May 23, 2001 & entered May 24, 2001). We dispense with oral argument *308 because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED.
